here is the output from 'lsusb'
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c50e Logitech, Inc. MX-1000 Cordless Mouse Receiver
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
and my fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
as you can see its not listed in my fstab. I am somewhat warry of messing with my fstab as last time I messed with it I really screwed it up and ended up reinstalling kubuntu. (like I said I am a noob) That being said I am not adverse to learning how I might edit it so that I can get my SD card reader to work. Also I tried the following fix at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+question/6262
and it did not work for me either. admitidly thought it was for the Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller and not the Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) (which is what I have on my laptop)
